Bounty from Allah for the Warriors

LESSON
# 527 FROM HOLY QUR’AN

Bounty from Allah
for the Warriors

Surah Nisaaa’ (Women)
- Chapter - 4)

Verses
–73 & 74 of 176, Section – 10/24 (Part – 5)

73. And if a Bounty from Allah befell you, he
would surely cry, as if there had been no love between you and him: Would
that I had been with them, then I would have achieved a great success.

74. Let
those fight in the Way of Allah who sell the life of the world for the sake
of Hereafter. And whoso fighteth in the Way of Allah, be he slain or be he
victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward.

The command of
Allah Almighty regarding preparation for Jihad and in this connection, behavior
of the Hypocrites has been described in the previous verse. Allah Almighty has
determined every Muslim as the Soldier of Islam and claimed that you should be
ready every time to sacrifice your life in the Path of Truth. It is necessary for
you to remain prepared in each condition for fighting in separate units or if
there is a need of Jihad by all together. The Hypocrites will evade intentionally
and prepensely, and try to refrain away from alliance in Jihad. If God forbid,
you suffered, they will unfold their gladness. And if Allah Almighty bestowed
His Bounty upon you, you attained victory and success, and returned with plenty
of wealth, then they would surely cry and say like the
strange people, as if there had been no love between you and them: Would that
we had been with them (you), then we would have achieved booty, collected the riches
and great success.

It
is the precept of Allah Almighty that you should fight against those people in
His Way, who give preference to the worldly life in retaliation of the
Hereafter and like the world instead of the religion. You should not have any
concern with victory or defeat, be slain or overcome. We shall bestow you a
vast reward in both conditions.
